Disappearance of Johnny Gosch

In 1982, a 12-year-old boy named Johnny Gosch was kidnapped while he was on his morning paper round. This case involved a lot of bad police work, mostly due to the policy they had at the time which was to wait 72 hours before investigating a missing child. The police were convinced that he ran away, even when all the evidence said otherwise. His grieving mother went to hell and back to get justice for her son and other missing children. She helped to get the "72-hour" policy lifted. She also claims that, in 1997, she was visited by Johnny who had grown up, and said that he was abducted by a pedophile ring. He told her that he can't return because if he did, he would be killed. He talked with her for an hour while another man watched, and they both then vanished again.
